1"() all whom, if may concern/.-

Be it known that I, JEssE KINNEY, of London, in the county of Middlesexand Dominion of Canada, have invented a new and useful Improvement inAttachment to Plows; and I do declare that the following is a true andaccurate description thereof, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, and being apart of this specification, in Which- My invention is shown inperspective attached to a plow in Figure l. Fig. 2 shows my devicedetached and in perspective.

The nature of this invention relates to a cheap and simple device forclearing plowcolters from stubble and other obstructions whichaccumulate an d require time and trouble to remove.

The invention consist in providing a curved rod, the upper end of whichis secured in any convenient manner to the plow-beam, while its otherend is notched to engage with the edge of the colter', as more fullyhereinafter described.

In the accompanying drawings, A represents a plow-beam, and B thecolter.

C is a rod secured to the plow-beam, as at a, in any convenient manner,and has a backward and downward curve until its lower end engages withthe front edge of the colter, the end of the rod being provided with thenotch b for that purpose.

By means of this device the accumulation of rubbish in the angle d,where the beam and colter meet. is entirely obviated.

Where stubble and other obstructions do not exist, the curved rod may beremoved, if deemed best, or the rod attachment and colter may be made inone piece or welded together, if preferred.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-

The device C, when constructed, attached, and operating substantially asand for the purpose herein set forth.
